Konica Minolta 7013 Resolution, grayscale, Mixing resolution and contrast in a multiple, Contrast

Basic operation

Resolution, grayscale

Reviewing resolution and grayscale:

•Normal resolution (“NORM” on the control panel) is suitable for most typed documents and simple drawings.

•Fine resolution (“FINE” on the control panel) is ideal for maps, moderately compli- cated drawings, floorplans or handwritten documents.

•Superfine resolution (“S-FINE” on the control panel, “S Fine” on the LCD) reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawings or line art.

•Grayscale mode (“HALFTONE” on the control panel; “Gray” on the LCD) captures shades in photos and drawings.

Note: If you send a fax in superfine, certain fax models (especially older models) receive it only in fine mode. However, you can send a fax in grayscale mode to virtually any fax machine currently in use.

Mixing resolution and contrast in a multiple page

When you send the document with more than one page, you can select different res- olutions and contrasts for each page.

Insert your documents, select resolution and contrast for first page, dial and press START. Then follow one of the following two procedures.

When the document is placed in the ADF:

Select resolution and contrast before the next page is scanned.

When the document is placed on the platen glass:

1 Remove the previous page and place the next page.

2 Select resolution and contrast. Then press NEXT DOC.

To change the resolution setting, press RESOLUTION repeatedly. A glowing LED indicates the fax is using the setting named by that LED. For example, in the drawing (right), the machine is set for FINE resolution.

Dialing pause

Some long-distance systems require dialing pauses, and pauses can also be useful when you’re dialing through special telephone exchanges.

To insert a pause, assign REDIAL/PAUSE to a Soft key (see page 3.16), and then press REDIAL/PAUSE. (The pause character (-/) will appear on the LCD.) Each pause entered lasts for a factory-set two seconds.

For example, pressing 9, REDIAL/PAUSE, 19725552009 dials 9 [2-second pause] 1 9 7 2 5 5 5 2 0 0 9.

Contrast

Setting the contrast allows you to compensate for any excessive lightness or dark- ness, as the case may be, of document pages you are sending or copying.

Helpful Tip: You can change the dialing pause length within 2 to 10 seconds. (see “Changing the pause length,” page 4.5.)

Potential problems with call-waiting and voice mail

To change the contrast setting, press CONTRAST repeatedly. A glowing LED indicates the fax is using the setting named by that LED.

Note: To avoid confusing the Light and Dark settings, just remember — “Light lightens” and “Dark darkens” — to keep it straight.

Telephone call-waiting signals can stop fax transmission and reception. And any service — such as voice mail — which may intercept your calls can keep your fax machine from receiving fax calls.

If you use only one line for both phone and fax, consult your telephone company to see how you can temporarily disable call-waiting or voice mail while using the fax machine.
